Hey everyone,

I have a table like so:

Receiptlimitid: BIGINT (Primary Key)
Profitcenterid: BIGINT
Receiptnumber: INTEGER

All are set to Not Null also.

My question is, if I have an insert that goes idle in transaction for a while before it commits, will it stop all other inserts from happening on the table? If so, is that because of the possible violation of the primary key by the following pending inserts? Just trying to confirm the behavior I'm seeing and make sure I understand what's going on.

Thanks!
